And also i think very much so if if beijing sends in the military force youll be in a mission there and its lost talk on its totally lost the hearts and minds of all commas so it would have broader implications both domestically as well as internationally in terms of how the world views are rising china is to me its going to get your expertise on this we really appreciate your time adam all live in the den thank you.
